When my love said to me Meet me down by the gallow tree For it`s sad news I bring About this old town and all that it`s offering Some say troubles abound Some day soon they`re gonna pull the old town down
One day we`ll return here, When the Belfast Child sings again
Brothers, sisters where are you now As I look for you right through the crowd All my life here I`ve spent With my faith in God the Church and the Government But there`s sadness abound Some day soon they`re gonna pull the old town down
One day we`ll return here, When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again
So come back Billy, won`t you come on home Come back Mary, you`ve been away so long The streets are empty, and your mother`s gone The girls are crying, it`s been oh so long And your father`s calling, come on home Won`t you come on home, won`t you come on home
Come back people, you`ve been gone a while And the war is raging, in the Emerald Isle That`s flesh and blood man, that`s flesh and blood All the girls are crying but all`s not lost
The streets are empty, the streets are cold Won`t you come on home, won`t you come on home
The streets are empty Life goes on
One day we`ll return here When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again
